PANTONE FASHION COLOR REPORT
SPRING 2016: A Transporting and
Transformative Canvas
“Colors this season transport us to a happier,
sunnier place where we feel free to express a
wittier version of our real selves.”
Leatrice Eiseman
Executive Director, Pantone Color Institute
Influenced by the world of art, new global doors opening and the desire to disconnect from technology and
unwind, designers this season have gravitated toward a
palette that is first and foremost calming. Paying homage to the beauty of natural resources, colors emerging
in the Spring collections serve as vehicles that transport wearers to more tranquil, mindful environs which
encourage relaxation first, followed by curiosity and
exploration.
Designers were also inspired by the contrast of urban
design and lush vegetation, leading to unexpected
color combinations and collections reminiscent of
architecture, travel and nostalgia. By creating looks that
truly represent the world we live in, both constructed
and organic, designers sought to awaken a sense of
reflection, followed by playful escapism. Artists, many
of whom are known for bold color usage and strong
shapes and lines, played an influential role in this season’s
styles – from Matisse, Picasso and Frank Stella to Esther
Stewart and Sam Falls. With Cuba and other destinations
south of the border top of mind, designers are playing
with courageous color statements that aren’t afraid
to be vibrant but at the same time are combined with
quieting, classic and more natural tones.
“Colors this season transport us to a happier, sunnier
place where we feel free to express a wittier version of
our real selves,” said Leatrice Eiseman, executive director
of the Pantone Color Institute. “With our culture still
surrounded by so much uncertainty, we are continuing
to yearn for those softer shades that offer a sense of
calm and relaxation.”
A UNISEX PALETTE
Colors this season transcend cultural and gender norms.
Vivid brights give way to excitement and optimism,
though quiet stability prevails in this season’s palette.
For Spring 2016 there are truly no perceivable distinctions
in color choices between the men’s and women’s
collections, both of which focus on a desire to breathe
and reflect, then play.
The soothing, calming nature of colors in the Spring
collections are led by Rose Quartz, a persuasive yet
gentle tone that conveys compassion and a sense
of composure. Like a serene sunset, flushed cheek
or budding flower, Rose Quartz reminds us to reflect
on our surroundings during the busy but lighthearted
spring and summer months.
The fashion and design communities, and consequently,
consumers, have been in love with orange for several
seasons. Coming to the fore this Spring is Peach
Echo, a shade that emanates friendlier qualities, evoking
warmth and accessibility. It is an all-encompassing,
tempered companion in the playful orange family.
Weightless and airy, like the expanse of the blue sky
above us, Serenity comforts with a calming effect,
bringing a feeling of respite even in turbulent times. A
transcendent blue, Serenity provides us with a naturally
connected sense of space.
A maritime-inspired blue, Snorkel Blue plays in the
navy family, but with a happier, more energetic context.

SPRING 2016: A Transporting and
Transformative Canvas
The name alone implies a relaxing vacation and
encourages escape. It is striking yet still, with lots of
activity bursting from its undertones.
While the majority of the Spring/Summer palette trends
toward calmness, a few diversions from the theme
emerge that offer a contrast. With Buttercup, designers
reveal a shining beacon transporting its wearer to a
happier, sunnier place.
A shade of aqua that leans toward the green family,
Limpet Shell is clear, clean and defined. Suggestive of
clarity and freshness, its crisp and modern influences
evoke a deliberate, mindful tranquility.
A transitional color that will take us through the seasons,
Iced Coffee manifests as another strong neutral for
the season. With its natural earthy quality, the softness
and subtlety of Iced Coffee creates a stable foundation
when combined with the rest of this season’s palette.
Green Flash calls on its wearer to explore, push
the envelope and escape the mundane, radiating an
openness that combines with the rest of the palette in
unexpected but serendipitous ways. The popularity of
this brilliant hue is representative of nature’s persistent
influence even in urban environments, a trend continuing
to inspire designers.
As in most any season, the need for neutrals arises.
Essentially a basic, the subtlety of the lilac undertone
in, Lilac Gray, adds a distinctive edge to this classic
gray shade.
The high energy Fiesta is a harbinger of excitement,
encouraging free-spirited exploration to unknown but
welcoming locales. A strong and fiery, yellow-based
red, the vivid Fiesta provides a stark contrast to the
calming, softer nature of this season’s palette.

THE DESIGNERS
reveal their inspiration and must-have items for Spring 2016.

THE DESIGNERS
PROMINENT COLORS
Cloud Blue, Sandy Taupe, Blush Pink, Deep Indigo and
Pale Ivory.
INSPIRATION
Spring 2016 was inspired by a recent journey to Morocco
and the French influence that pervades the region. The color’s
subdued palette was drawn primarily from the stunning,
arid landscape of Ouarzazate, Morocco, from the multitude
of Blues in the clear skies, the Taupe and Soft Blush of the
desert sands, and the Ivory of sail cloth tents.
SIGNATURE COLORS
Blush Pink is prominent through the collection. It’s a perfect
complement to so many other colors and conveys both
lightness and intrigue.
Rose Quartz
TOSIA
MUST-HAVE ITEM FOR SPRING 2016
The Blush Pink draped twill trench coat with pierced lapels
is easy to throw on over any ensemble and feels as though
you are slipping into a robe.
HOW DO YOU USE COLOR TO IMPART A MOOD OR EMOTION?
Color can evoke an atmosphere. For Spring, the hushed
desert tones, rendered in floating caftan gowns, relaxed
smoking jackets, and voluminous wide-legged pants, bring
to mind dreamy days spent languishing in Moroccan riads
that stretch into vibrant, sultry nights.

HOUGHTON
Rose Quartz
PROMINENT COLORS
For Spring/Summer 2016, I chose a cool palette and muted
tones/colors: Creamy Ivory, Sage, Dusty Rose, Chalk
White, Blush, Midnight Blue, Camel, Straw.
INSPIRATION
I think that summer White is chic year round. I try and find
a palette of colors that complements our neutral palette
each season and I felt that this pastel and muted palette
was relevant for SS ‘16. Houghton crosses over to our
bridal customer and having a constant light palette
remains our core.
SIGNATURE COLORS
Chalk White combined with Layered Blush as well as Taupe
and Navy combo.
I have an over-sized cargo jacket in Chalk White twill that
feels like a denim. It has over-sized buttons, cuffs and
belts. I also have a dress that I’m obsessed with, it is a light
Ghuipure Chalk White Shirt Dress with a full skirt, Blush silk
1/4 lining and an over-sized Dusty Rose suede jacket with
over-sized matching buttons.
I love using a light palette, especially with lace, and I think
it’s sexy and fun to style, whether with a leather jacket or
alone. White and Ivory can be innocent or sexy, so I love
leaving the interpretation open.

THE DESIGNERS
PROMINENT COLORS
The colors in the Spring 2016 collection are a combination
of bold and rich mixed along with pale and fresh tones with
additional brighter colors making for a very clean cut and
modern palette. From the idea of Cuba past and present
we interlaced the opulent, rich color of PANTONE 19-5511
Hunter Green with the youthful, washed out color of
PANTONE 12-1305 Heavenly Pink and PANTONE 13-4404
Ice Flow. Throughout the collection I wanted to sprinkle in
some luminosity and glow with PANTONE 12-0643 Blazing
Yellow and PANTONE 13-1012 Frosted Almond.
Our main colors are combinations are:
PANTONE 19-4028 Insignia Blue / PANTONE 12-1305
Heavenly Pink / PANTONE 11-0601 Bright White
PANTONE 19-5511 Hunter Green / PANTONE 19-4151

M.PATMOS
INSPIRATION
For our Spring 2016 collection, I felt particularly inspired
by Cuban dress, from the sparkling Havana nights to being
lost in time on the tired streets of La Habana. With Cuba’s
bold and colorful presence, I directly translated that into
our colors for the collection. Washed colors were mixed
within brighter and more playful colors to enhance more
unusual, contemporary combinations.

LELA ROSE
PROMINENT COLORS
I played with tonal variations within colors this season
which has allowed a beautiful flow from one color story to
the next. A Cool Coral (PANTONE 14-1418 Peach Melba)
plays off a Neon Cherry (PANTONE 17-1563 Cherry Tomato).
Rose Gold appears as a metallic stamping on cotton poplin
as well as in fringe cut pebbled silk. A Turquoise Blue
(PANTONE 17-4328 Blue Moon) melds with an Icy Aqua
(PANTONE 12-5409 Fair Aqua) as well as Silver Metallic.
INSPIRATION
The artist Sam Falls was the original inspiration for the
collection and the colors are largely drawn from his palette.
SIGNATURE COLORS
A bright Citrine (PANTONE 13-0650 Sulphur Spring) is the
most important color in the collection. There has been a
variation on this color in every collection for years, making
it a signature of the brand.
A pale Apricot (PANTONE 12-0917 Bleached Apricot)
hand-crocheted knit tee shirt and skirt is a must-have look.
It can be both dressy and casual at the same time and
worn in many different ways.
For me, color is one of the easiest ways to affect your
outlook and mood. I love to design in a palette that feels
inviting and fun. I love to wear bright color as I find I feel
happier in color and less so when wearing black.

THE DESIGNERS
PROMINENT COLORS
The Spring 2016 collection focuses on soft, comfortable,
cotton Whites mixed with harder silk porcelain Whites, so
there is a play on matte and shine. Blush, Peach and Apricot
tones are juxtaposed against deep vibrant Navy and
embellished Jet Black. This is accented by playful touches
of jewel toned Emerald Green.
INSPIRATION
I’m inspired by the hard, angular and polished surfaces of
Tadao Ando’s architecture. His underground museum in
Japan is a beautiful maze of light and shadow that’s built
under a vibrant circular Green lawn. I pictured the stunning
Fernanda Ly running across the circular lawn, her Blush
colored hair blowing in the wind. I found similar color
combinations in the paintings of Esther Stewart. Her mix
of soft Whites, Blush and Navy tones in sharp triangular
shapes really sparked my imagination.

CHARLES YOUSSEF
SIGNATURE COLORS
It’s a soft, delicate and refreshing Pearl Blush that’s
reminiscent of a fresh energetic Spring feeling. The color is
organic and complements the natural beauty of women.
It’s our origami folded poplin shirt in Blush.
Color plays such an important role in our lives because it
can make us feel so many different things. The soothing
Whites and Nudes in the collection create a feeling of calm
serenity allowing you to relax, while the bright accents of
Emerald Green spark an energetic creativity.

PROMINENT COLORS
The colors in this collection are a mix of Sheer Pink, Apricot
Blush, Bone White, Whisper White and Peach Pearl.
INSPIRATION
The imperial cities of Morocco were an initial source of
inspiration for my Spring/Summer 2016 collection. I was
drawn to the culture and lifestyle, particularly the annual
traditional “Feast of the Throne” celebration in Marrakesh,
for which notables dress head to toe in beautifully draped
White linens. Nature and architecture of the region were
also sources of inspiration for this collection: crisp, clean
Sand tones are represented in Cream and Khaki separates
for day, with Blush and Sunset tones for evening. The
colors found in Moroccan wedding blankets were stimulating
and inspiring as well. Decorative wrought iron, wood work,
and sculpted stone are interpreted through texture and
embroidery. Delicate lattice details echo the light and
shadow of local architecture. It is a strikingly romantic and
feminine collection.
Peach Echo
CHRISTIAN SIRIANO
SIGNATURE COLORS
I think the use of Bone White and Seashell Pink make this
collection feel light and romantic.
A leaf collar textured silk crepe bias-cut shirtdress is our
signature for the season. It is a mixture of White Cream and
Sandy-colored stripes.
I like to either be very bold with color and make it very
impactful or I like to do the complete opposite and use
small amounts of light tones with a very bold pop of color
when needed.

There was a focus on different shades of Blue. We chose

INSPIRATION
I was inspired by the youthful spirit of London in the ‘60s,
particularly Marianne Faithfull’s style - that sort of reluctant
rock royalty.
SIGNATURE COLORS
Sky Blue. I wanted to work with colors that were bold yet
feminine, colors Marianne Faithfull would wear today as a
modern woman.
The fringe cape in Gray Plum, our Paris saddle bag with a
studded guitar strap in Pale Blush and a cutout boot in our
geo print.
I focus on what is refreshing and what I want to wear myself

know it yet.

has an energy and boldness in its color. It looks beautiful
paired with lace and eyelet neutrals.
The Dina sweater dress in Platinum has just a hint of metallic,
its texture and silhouette give this dress an overall feeling of
dreaminess.
We used soft colors in bold prints with hints of metal
hardware on beautifully draped silhouettes to echo elements
of a warrior muse, perfectly balancing grace with strength.

For Spring 2016, we are working with four color groups: a

Midnight Navy and a mossy Green Verbant.
INSPIRATION
Our colors are inspired by an excursion to New York’s High
Line Green space, which is a perfect mix of urban architecture
and lush greenery. This Esosa SS16 collection takes your
imagination on an adventure. It’s inspired by nature’s
rhythmic vibrations and the city’s kinetic energy.

EMILIO SOSA

For Spring 2016, the most important color is our Sunrise
Sky Blue. It’s a color that looks cool and youthful and
works with a range of skin tones.
Our must-have item for Spring 2016 is the over-sized biker
jacket, which can be worn for day over shorts or with our
crocheted silk chiffon spaghetti-strap wrap gown as a cool
cover up.
In our SS16 collection, “Urban Rainforest,” we use our
Cayenne and Verbant colors to convey warmth and Sunrise
to convey a tranquil and cool transition from day to evening.

PANTONE 18-4320 Aegean Blue flows throughout the
collection. It appears in several prints as well as acts as a
neutral solid that can be paired back to several of the other
colors and prints in the collection.
Serenity
Warm, desert earth tones like PANTONE 16-1235 Sandstorm,
PANTONE 16-1532 Crabapple and PANTONE 14-0848

16-3110 Smoky Grape, PANTONE 15-4707 Blue Haze and
PANTONE 18-4320 Aegean Blue.
An off-the-shoulder folksy printed dress. I’m particularly in
love with our Preston dress in our Morocco tile print that
incorporates both the warm & cool colors of the season
(Moonflower, Sol, Lavender). After winter, it just makes you
excited for the sunshine.
People are always looking to color, especially in the Spring,
to get out of their winter blues and excited for the sun.
We always reflect that in our spring collections by offering
refreshing colors and prints to boost their mood!

THE DESIGNERS
PROMINENT COLORS
For Spring 2016, we will be using a wide range of Blues,
from bright Cobalt to Grayish and Mykonos Blue. In general, I
love to play with different colors and color combinations. In
addition to the “Blue story” there will be a lot of Lavender,
Misted Yellow, Cypress, Radiant Orchid, Raspberry Red
and some Neon colors to end the show!
INSPIRATION
Why does a jean jacket need to be made out of denim?
Why can’t an evening dress be made out of spandex?
Rules are made to be broken so why not employ modern
day technology to redesign and redefine the classics? The
one constant in the age of the internet is that nothing is
what it seems. The end results are textiles that share urban
elements and a luxurious sense of touch and appearance
in clothing that defy the conventional approach of how
people normally work with these textiles. They provide a fresh
perspective and an exciting look that will mix flawlessly with
the modern day wardrobe.
Snorkel Blue
GEORGINE
SIGNATURE COLORS
For Spring/Summer 2016 I don’t think there is one particular
color that is the most important. In past seasons I would
not be able to say the same; however, for this collection
what is very important is how the colors engage with each
other. The colors I have chosen have a great synergy!
The spandex knit dresses which are reversible and come in
every color combination of the rainbow!

PANTONE 19-4039 Delft and PANTONE 13-2004 Potpourri.
INSPIRATION
This season, I will be delving deeper into my heritage and
memories of Japan. I was drawn to the vibrancy of a
blossoming Japanese garden which helped to inspire the
color palette for spring.
SIGNATURE COLORS
Violet plays a key role this season which is shown in
different hues of PANTONE 16-3931 Sweet Lavender and
PANTONE 19-3951 Clematis Blue. It works as a statement
color but also a complement to the other tones in the
collection reminiscent of Japan.
Spring will introduce many sporty separates that can be
dressed up or down, depending on the occasion. One of
my favorites is an oversized PANTONE 16-3617 Sheer Lilac
windowpane sweatshirt with PANTONE 14-0957 Spectra
Yellow iris-motif embroidery over a tea-length PANTONE
16-3931 Sweet Lavender and PANTONE 16-3617 Sheer
Lilac tulle skirt.
I use color to bring my inspiration to life and convey the
nostalgic feelings of distant memories. The color palette is
a window to the past.

PROMINENT COLORS
Primary tones mixed with neutrals are the main focus of
Spring 2016. Cobalt mixed with Clay, Sand and Vermillion,
Yellow and Mudd. The colors we are using the most are
PANTONE 17-1558 Grenadine, PANTONE 18-3949 Dazzling
Blue, PANTONE 12-0642 Aurora, PANTONE 13-1106 Sand
Dollar and PANTONE 19-0814 Slate Black.
INSPIRATION
This season, we have mixed an arty tribal vibe with bold
stripes and earth tones. Aside from the tribal prints and
body painting that we were referencing, we also were drawn
to photos of hot air balloons over the African savannas
and tried to bring that visual contrast to the collection as well.

INSPIRATION
My inspiration is Picasso’s still life depicted in geometric
form, based on my own freehand drawings.
SIGNATURE COLORS
I love Galaxy Blue because it is a vibrant, oceanic color.
The color also reminds me of Picasso’s Blue Period. I felt
the Blue I chose symbolizes an end, which is bridged to a
more joyful time, represented by vibrant Red and Pink, or
the Rose Period.
The must-have items for Spring 2016 are my printed shift
dresses.
The colors I used in my Spring 2016 collection are reflective
of my emotions at the time of creation. The colors are more
vibrant, depicting my feeling of rejuvenation and restoration,
mostly due to my health recovery. You’ll find more cheerful
vivid hues of Red, Orange, Pink and earth tones.

Our colors and prints are inspired by the colors of a Maltese
traditional fishing boat called a “Luzzu.” The bright colored
boats basking in the sun on the Mediterranean Sea inspired
our Spring/Summer 2016 collection.

Sunshine Yellow, it is a warm color that evokes thoughts of

THE DESIGNERS
PROMINENT COLORS
The Spring 2016 collection is inspired by the Bauhaus
movement that came out of Eastern Europe in the 1910’s,
1920’s, and very early 1930’s. The color palette is routed in
primary colors and breaks off into complementary pastels.
All shades of Yellow are important this season, especially
Canary Yellow, Dusty Yellow and Faded Sunflower. Also,
the Blues like Deep Indigo, Robin’s Egg Blue and Electric
Cobalt are important.
INSPIRATION
The collection was inspired by the Bauhaus institution in
Germany, specifically the Women’s Weaving Workshop and
the textiles that were created during the interwar period in
eastern Europe.

DAVID HART
SIGNATURE COLORS
All of the Yellows are important this season. I want men to
feel excited about dressing up for Spring 2016 and Yellow
is such a lively color.
Our must-have item for Spring 2016 is our color-blocked
fine gauge merino wool cardigan. It is Faded Sunflower
with Deep Indigo sleeves with hints of primary colors.
American menswear has been so rooted in Black, Gray and
Navy. By using color I’ve been able to create a fun, lively
and happy mood for Spring 2016.

Spring/Summer 2016 is a very colorful collection, with the
most prominent color combination being PANTONE 19-3951
Clematis Blue and PANTONE 19-1764 Lipstick Red.
INSPIRATION
The collection’s inspiration is “Oriental gangster.” We
incorporated many Oriental tattoo graphics and we feel the
two colors (Clematis Blue and Lipstick Red) are very close
to the classic Oriental tattoo ink colors.
SIGNATURE COLORS
PANTONE 16-1452 Firecracker Orange is a very unexpected
color throughout the collection, and we think it’s brilliant to
have this bright color as a highlight.
A very ‘90s-shaped strappy dress would be a must-have
for Spring 2016, in Firecracker Orange.

PROMINENT COLORS
Ground Zero plays with a lot of graphics and we love keeping

Ocean Blue but adding an unexpected color like an Orange

a bit unexpected.

INSPIRATION
This Spring collection is very personal and nostalgic for me
as it is paying homage to my hometown of Hong Kong. It’s
a romantic take on a concrete jungle during Spring time. I
think pastel tones (symbolizing comfort and familiarity) with
a dusting of Silver and Gray (representing the busy city)
really embody the emotions I’ve attached to this collection.
SIGNATURE COLORS
Gray Sapphire – because it ties all the fabrications, prints
and silhouettes together and represents the brand’s ethos
and brings the designs to life.

A modern yet timeless day-to-night dress is a must-have
for any city woman. This collection has great options in
Blue, Blush, White, Silver and print.
Color (or print) is the first thing people notice on you. It is
the most expressive component of an outfit and also highly
personal. Through my designs and the choice of fabric
color I want my ladies to feel feminine but strong, modern
yet classic. Because I am one of them I always want them
to feel powerful and confident.

REBECCA VALLANCE
PROMINENT COLORS
INSPIRATION
Our palette was inspired by classic film noir and ‘90s pop
culture. We have drawn the Blacks, Charcoals and pale
Whites from the iconic theater and spliced them with bold
splashes of color often found in ‘90s music videos.
SIGNATURE COLORS
For us, the most important color is our Tangerine Orange.
It is a new, bold color that we have not worked with before.
For us, it was a risk that really paid off. It’s not a color often
found on garment racks but in our case, it is the glue that
ties all the other colors together.
Lilac Gray
For our SS16 collection, we have decided to go with a warm
palette. Delicate Pale Pinks, Mulberry Wine, Tangerine
Orange and Sunkist Red feature strongly and are connected
through classic hues, such as Black and warm Ivory.
The must-have item for SS16 is the fit and flare skirt and
the more colors the better! We have incorporated this
shape into our range in a variety of styles, lengths, and of
course, colors.
Color in itself will always create a mood and emotion, so
it is important for us that the right palette is chosen for the
collection we are creating. We are always assessing how
a color will feel on the skin, who can wear it and where are
they wearing it. The palette choice is one of the hardest
points of the design process, we scrutinize over lab dips to
create a story amongst color. Our SS16 range was all about
classicism with a bold modern touch and color choice is
what helped us achieve this.

YOANA BARASCHI
PROMINENT COLORS
This season we liked the softening of colors and the
transition of cool Pinks, as in classic PANTONE 15-2718
Fuchsia Pink into a symphony of Lilacs, such as PANTONE
15-2913 Lilac Chiffon, or cooler tones, such as PANTONE
16-3617 Sheer Lilac and PANTONE 14-3812 Pastel Lilac,
and Violets, such as PANTONE 16-3320 Violet, PANTONE
15-3817 Lavender and PANTONE 16-3416 Violet Tulle. This
intriguing palette of Violets and Lilacs looks particularly
surprising and modern when accented with our favorite
fiery PANTONE 17-1664 Poppy Red. PANTONE 16-3925
Easter Egg and deep Periwinkle Blue continue this moody
dusk to dawn palette into the Blue family. When contrasted
with Black and White, the palette takes a graphic turn in
illustrated floral prints or embroideries.
INSPIRATION
The spectacular August sunsets over the Hudson River;
the Black and White reality of the city is engulfed by the
all-powerful drama of nature. Pink and Violet clouds on the
New York West Side sky are just as magical of a backdrop
as any distant, exotic island paradise.
SIGNATURE COLORS
Cool tone Pinks/Lilacs/Violets/Lavenders because of all
their modern edge and eerie vibe.
A high-waisted Pink/Lavender tailored midi skirt with an
impossibly high slit.
We choose a color based on its ability to move you, to
sway you; a star color for the season has to feel new and a
little subversive to the status quo.

For Spring 2016, sharp colors such as Citron and Poppy
are paired with cooler tones of Mint and Blush creating

The work of American artist Frank Stella inspired us to
develop unusual color combinations for Spring 2016 that

Poppy is the color of the season at Pamella Roland which
becomes especially vibrant in fabrics such as silk faille and

MALONE SOULIERS
PROMINENT COLORS
Strawberry Suede is a beautiful, warm color, and Rose
Capretto is a cooler, softer pastel Pink. Both have a Blue
undertone, which complement each other and flatter the
skin tone.
Other colors we have used in SS16 are Aqua Blue Suede,
Mint, Lemon and Larice, which all have cool undertones.
All these colors, when paired together, work to balance the
overall tone of the shoe. Either to strengthen and highlight
certain colors, or to tone down and ground others.
We were also very careful with the Gold tone we used in
our Platino Como material. We worked to ensure the Gold
was not too bright or gaudy, but metal authentic. However,
we were conscious that the color needed to be rich enough
to avoid being washed out when worn farther away from
the eye, on the feet.
INSPIRATION
When the collection was designed, it was January, so it
was cold and dark in London. We wanted the colors we
used to transport the wearer to a sunnier and brighter place.
We felt many of our hardworking clients residing in the city
deserved respite, and transportation to a warmer clime.

The inspiration of this season is Montreal’s Expo 1967 – the
famous World’s Fair of the 20th Century. The neutral colors

SIGNATURE COLORS
This collection will be four colors: the primary Red, Blue,

The collection will present a range of neutral hues and
tones (Snow White, Chalk Stone, Sand, Concrete and Black),
mixed with metals (Silver, Copper, Steel) and geometric
splashes of four primary colors (Red, Blue, Yellow, Green).
I use primary colors to add excitement and fun to neutral
relaxed tones – a perfect representation of the Expo 67.

in my country, Venezuela, and the Caribbean Islands. My
inspiration stemmed from interpreting its shape and intense
colors for a sunny and cheerful spring.

In my opinion, the must-have item for Spring 2016 is a tealength Lime Green textured organza strapless dress with

I hope it’s Pale Mint. It’s so subtle and can be mistaken for

even like it with a touch of Orange.
Fall 2015 showed some great statement shoes, like
Balenciaga and Jason Woo. I would love to see that trend

MOOD FABRICS
PROMINENT COLORS
The colors that are most prominent in our fabrics this
season will be a mix of Flourescent Jewel Tones and Pastels
both mixed together. Blended on fabrics with neutral
undertones that vary in textures like cotton canvases and
lush cut velvet. It was important for us to have textiles that
would be versatile and functional for both interior and fashion
designers to use.
Our must-have item this season is a Bright Yellow velvet.
The color in this fabric is amazing!
INSPIRATION
The inspiration for our color palette this season came from
the colors found in natural stones. We were inspired by
the mix of colors you can find in stones like Turquoise,
Amethyst and especially in Opal. Our clients really respond
well to these colors, so we wanted to incorporate patterns
that also fused these colors together or that had geometric
shapes that would remind us of the stones. One of our favorite patterns this season is a White diamond pattern with
a Charcoal Gray background.
We love color here at Mood. We use colors to display current themes, trends or color stories. Colors are also great to
use on our window displays to influence our customers to
buy the colors or “MOOD” we show per season.

I’m working on not only a book, but also my own product

is key. Blush and Salmon Pinks paired with Poppy Red,
Metallic Gold and Warm Whites repeat again and again for
the Dallas Shaw team. And every now and then? Neon for
the win.
I’m a fashion illustrator, so telling a story with color is my
job. Brights against White for Summer make my clients feel
happy, while deeper shades mixed with neutrals for Fall
make them feel chic and sultry.

I love the idea of a Red shoe. It excites everything you will
